Youth hubs remain at the heart of TribelessYouth’s initiative for advocation for good governance and accountability. For the better part of the last two weeks, we embarked on a mission to touch base with members of our youth hubs and to understand how far they have come since our last engagement in October, 2025.
At the Gilgil hub the issues surrounding youth unemployment remains at the epicenter of their agenda. Complaints from how the youth in the area have time and again been sidelined from accessing jobs with the ongoing construction of the multibillion Rironi-Mau Summit Road.
In Nakuru Town West, discussions around the budget making process evoked very passionate conversations among the members. Additionally, issues of wastage of public funds and corruption were discussed and members wanting those involved held accountable for these vices.
In Nakuru Town East, a success story of how the youth were able to push for three projects in their sub county to completion. These are the Abangolewa rescue center, an ECDE center and a drainage system within Flamingo ward.
In Naivasha the hub members demonstrated how they were able to bring back sanity to the Naivasha Level 4 hospital by holding their duty bearers to account and demanding better service delivery at the hospital.
Following numerous attempts to try and reach out to the hospital management to seek clarification over pressing issues concerning service delivery at the health facility, it took the efforts of the members to hold peaceful protests in their area so that their issues could be addressed.
In Rongai, the group remains formidable and at the forefront of demanding transparency in the use of public funds within their subcounty. The members raised concerns, there is duplication of projects by different levels of governments, i.e. national and county governments, such scenarios have led to the misuse of public resources.
Bahati Youth Hub, had honest conversations about real issues affecting them, from a culture of handouts that ignores long-term impact to stalled projects and even arrests for speaking up within their own ward. Hub members from the sub counties thanked Tribeless Youth for its continued support and are looking forward to more engagements throughout this year.
Members from all sub-counties acknowledged TribelessYouth for its continued support and look forward to more engagements throughout the year.
